When writing professional emails, short, crisp messages will get you the reply you want: a clear answer from the recipient. The busier and more senior the recipient, the shorter your note should be. But writing shorter emails takes time.

Technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence have begun performing tasks that humans did previously, making our workplaces more efficient and reallocating time to higher value activities.

Do you worry about whether your writing skills are holding back your career progression?

Writing and business communication skills are part of your professional reputation, particularly when making first impressions.

It’s impossible to get results if your writing isn’t read.

Most written communications aren’t read by their intended recipients in the workplace.

As Thomas Jefferson said, “The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.”

Our formal schooling teaches us to write so we demonstrate our knowledge. (Remember the political science professor who assigned you a term paper comparing the U.S. and U.K. foreign policies?) But that approach doesn’t serve us well once we are in the workplace.

Many of us learned sentence structure and grammar rules in our formal education or professional training. But in reality, there’s no “one right way” to write.

Ever feel like you don’t make much progress when you begin drafting a document?

Well, don’t fill too many roles simultaneously!

Ever wonder what your boss thinks when they read your writing?

It’s common to feel a little uneasy about our writing abilities.  In school, we regularly received feedback about our writing in the form of grades and professor’s comments.
